about Crafts from Your Favorite Bible Stories

rosscreationwheel.jpg (17719 bytes)This week is brought to us from the noted craft author Kathy Ross and her new book Crafts from your favorite Bible stories.  Kathy has created a wonderful collection of crafts that will help children learn about the Bible stories and their underlying messages.

What You Need:

  • Scissors
  • Pencil Ruler
  • Corrugated cardboard
  • Light weigh cardboard
  • Markers
  • White glue
  • Cotton ball
  • Paper fastener

What you do:

  1. rosshandprint.jpg (9744 bytes)Cut a 12- inch circle from the corrugated cardboard. Cut an identical circle from he light-weight cardboard.
  2. Use the ruler to divide the corrugated cardboard circle into eight equal wedge-shaped segments.  Cut a segment from the light-weight cardboard that is slightly smaller than one segment of the corrugated cardboard circle. Make sure it does not go all the way to the center of the light-weight cardboard circle.
  3. Use the markers to decorate each segment on the corrugated cardboard to tell about the seven days of creation. In the first segment write "The Story of Creation" and decorate the segment.
  4. The next segment will be the first day of creation, when God separated the light from the dark.
  5. On the second day He made the sky. You can glue a bit of cotton in the sky to look like clouds.
  6. On the third day He separated the lands from the seas, and on the fourth day God put the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky.
  7. On the fifth day He filled the seas with fish and the sky with birds.  On the sixth day He created all the animals and He created man.   On the seventh day God rested from his work.
  8. Attach the light-weight cardboard circle to the top of the corrugated cardboard circle by putting the paper fastener through the center of both circles.  Arrange the top circle so that the title segment, "The Story of Creation," shows through.
  9. Use the creation wheel to tell the story of creation, turning the top wheel to expose the picture of each of the seven days.
